I said accounts. What I really meant was characters. Might be silly to think that but I just assume there's a better-than-decent chance they've been purged after such a long time with no activity.
Back in 2019 when Blizz launched Classic, I recall one day logging into the Retail side to piddle around on my old toons on Alexstrazsa for the first time in probably a dozen years. Unfortunately, they were gone. I even went through every NA server on the list thinking perhaps I had remembered wrong but all of them were empty. I guess it's possible I had deleted my toons way back when and just didn't remember doing it, but that would've been really out of character for me to do so doubtful.
I guess I can just download the game again since it's free and actually check for myself if Arena.net chucked 'em or not.
Edit: I guess I don't even have to do that. Website has an account check link at the top.

When I returned to WoW after a 10ish year hiatus I had to asked support to help me find them. They were present and accounted for without issue. I'd be very surprised if ArenaNet deleted them.

GW2's item progression is horizontal. However, the depth to be found is in the build system and excellent combat mechanics. The game is legit fun once you get to 80 and spec into one of the elite specializations.
Also, I returned to the game in 2019 or so and the account and characters I had created at release back in 12 was still there.
Most of my toons were lvl 80. I know my main was. That part I remember. And I think they had just introduced Ascended? gear, or something like that shortly before I quit. Whatever it was, it was extremely grindy to obtain/craft and I was already on the verge of quitting so I don't think I had any of it yet.
What I don't remember was the part about elite specializations. Was that introduced in one of the expansions?
Elite specs were introduced in heart of thorns and every expansion since has 1 for each class.
Finally finished downloading the client and got to log in to see all of my toons appear to still be in tact.
Logged into my main, a thief, who was in Lion's Arch. A little overwhelming as I don't remember a damn thing about anything in game though.

Not a bad expansion so far other than them just absolutely beating you over the head with Female characters.
Rolling a thief this go around and the new spec is very strange to me so far. You port around casting shadow wells (AE) that does different things and it's very difficult to get used to but seems very tanky with the build I'm using.

It's either your account on ArenaNet or your account on Steam. Can't migrate from one to the other.
(if you're already playing on ArenaNet, why do you need a Steam version? The patcher?)

It's fairly typical for games that came out before the move to steam. BDO and a bunch of others are the same. They already have the players from before and don't have to give steam a cut from those accounts for future purchases.
Destiny 2 was cool though and migrated.
